OVERVIEW
Project ep is a simple pipeline constructor.
DESCRIPTION
Extended pipelining is an easy-to-use pipeline process (re)director. It has the main ability to run any number of subprocesses and redirect them basic filedescriptors. Basic filedescriptors are 0 (standart input), 1 (standart output) and 2 (standart errput). There is no restriction of pipe connection except that process outputs (output, errput) must be bound with one or more processes input.
Extended pipelining is a pipeline connector. For most of UNIX user there was a time they wanted to bend the pipe (ie. make a bidirectional pipe) which could render many problems to a simple tasks of creating modules. Application is mostly used for creating a communication tree between several programs which communicate trhough STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR pipelines. Extended pipelining supports cyclic pipelining (A -> B, B -> A) between processes thus standing for a powerful tool for creating script-based modular projects.
